LiFePO4 batteries simply want to be warmed up before accepting a significant charge rate to prevent damage. That’s comparable.

I don't have a reference handy, but I read a decade or so ago that the best way to warm up and engine is actually just to drive in a reasonable fashion.
- Robotbeat 6y agoYup, that would be fine. Driving carefully would be acceptable. Just don’t gun it. (I have a lead foot, so I’ve had to watch myself...)
